Tennis player Arantxa Rus will not take part in the tournament in Dallas. The Dutch player will instead do more training to prepare for the US Open which begins at the end of the month, according to coach Ralph Kok.
"It was better for us to build in a longer, more physical training period," said Kok, who also was conscious that Rus had to withdraw from her previous tournament in Astana due to physical problems. Taking a month off from competitive tennis allowed Rus time to work or her fitness level.
